BANKS COUNTY, AND 9th CONGRESSIONAL. DISTRICT POLITICS ARE AT WHITE HEAT. NEXT MONDAY IS THE DAY FOR THE PRIMARY. GO VOT E. The county /in.i congressional polities of Bunks county aic now in a most terrible condition! YV hat makes it tliusly *> very visible for almost any one win. has nni.-l! as * tbiuiblefull of political knowledge. Bui to excess it ■ .i> -idu. the point is somewhat difficult- but the writer is going to trv to do so, difficult or not difficult; he desires to sat ioitli some mighty good reasons why our people should use their own judgment in such an important matter as the selection of such important officers as the representatives in the Georgia legislature, and the representative or the 9th congressional district in the United States Congress. You, or many of you well remember the fearless word* "J‘ oh "JJf' od only a few clays since, in the court house in I.auhs 00u " - > ? - lifted young orator, Mr. G. P.

Therefore, friends, and countrymen! you will do well to remen.be. lu.it la mous verse of Bryant’s which reads as follows: “Truth crushed to earth, shall rise again, Tue eternal years of God are hess; While errors, wounded, writhes in pain, And dies among her worshipers. You will consider that truth has been overcome, or crushed to earth by the abundent use of the all-powerful money. . , But it appears to have been left for Mr. Mart.,. to .raise tßmh Jom tl.e grounds of Banks count,, and proclaim in a clear vo.ee that t.uih ” e crushed and hidden by money entirely too long. litae up and w.. tb^ We are now making history; Let ‘1 at hr von are not ashamed of your own histo y- a '* ks c °" n - v ' shl . ewd l v cored. lion is at stake.

If you vote for Tate, reports will say: sold. Sold. St LL> - - W; regret that so many people are not very desirous of hearing such out spoken, truthful talk; But we cun hut rejoice when we have found one n Who is brave enough, smart enough and determ,ndd enough to ted the tiuth lei it hurt whomsoevei it may—though they say ti nth ne'ei lur s any we can but hope that these truths will not hurt i hat able, eloquent, dene. j, and nervy young man Mr. G. P. Martin, who, I believe is honest We need just such material as is found in “Pierce Mantin, to represent us in the Georgia Legislture-, For such young men as stand upon such grand principles as Mr. Martin stands upon, and is willing to fight upon, is auie y deserving of the support and co-operation of everyone who is desirous of se curing a good and purely independent state goventment. . . . You ought ta remember that in order to secure a good government in both the state of Georgia, and in the Nation’s capital, you should endeavor wit .11 your might to place the very best material obtainable into he foliation of the government The place to begin this good work is in the selec on of your county representative in the Legislature. Do your selecting well. 3 Mr. Martin is a young, able, fearless democrat and will do h work well Mr. Pierce Martin is a man of our liking, ana is of that kind that should receive the nomintion for which lie is so industriously laboring- Remember that whoever else there is in this race for Representative from Ranks County that stands upon such grand principles deserves much pa ; but will you ask yourself the following question, and then dec, A ' self: which should receive your support; the man who vo.un eeis o c-itesvch pure principles first or the man that takes up such platform ast. ' mild, do you wi.l. to •upper., . le.'i.r of • ""• d '”' zzz zxrzz . p* ™.t men and the evil -ft c,s -> his tommy Tattle thinking that such difference on the oa.tot some ot the people . t -e selection ot tbeir law-m.-- kars'ii wli tca e tht iiii.u .peteiu legislation, and as a result thereof, the general missgovernme-.,. and so much of this so-called class-leg,station, the ninth congressional district politics. The tme whei' von will be oallld up 01) to decide which one of two men— Hon Howard Thompson, or Hon. F. C. Tate—jou want as your represen tat ive in the lower house of the United States Congress will soon arrive. Of course you are going to vote for one or the other of the above name, well known men on next Monday, June 6th; But the writer now desires to simply remind you of some mighty good reasons why it would redound to vour interest to support Mr Thompson instead of Mr. Tate in this race- Of course we all realize the fact that each and every voting reader has the right to vote as he chooses; therefore we will resort only to hcnorablbe and perfectly fair methods in convincing you that it become i your individua an whole datyto work and vote for the man or men whose rotten methods .lon l smell unto the v ery heavens. You will, therefore, do well to remember that the first above named gentleman goes befort you without one spot or bernish of impure principles or metnods; who stands so ely upon his 12 years of very .satisfactory and honest record-a record which even his interest political enemies cannot attack even with a ten foot pole, or anything else, not eyen a pen or an editor’s clue pencil. The other man, his opponent, Mr. F. C. Tate; after six years ot service i the United States Congress does rot, by long ocids stand unaccused not directly but indirectly, accused of being connected with some ven shady an rotten transactions while he was in Congress. These charges the writer does not care to reitterate, hut desires to say that uulil those charges are proven to be absolutely false, or until he has proven that these charges were absolutely unfounded; then it would be Lest tor each voter to he oh the lookout and avoid placing too much confideuce in Buch ail officer at does not so vondect hit-self a, m leave no room for sue charges as have been preferred against Mr. F. C. late. Many of the most inteligent citizens o! Banks County—those who favor a clean and uncorruptible government- will vote for, and work for Hon. Howard Thompson on next Monday, th 6th inst. There arc many reasons why you should send Mr Thompson instead o‘ Mr. Tate to the United States Congress; But time and space prevents further statements upon this very important matter: so it is left to the free thinking people to decide which they want to rep es ml them m the next congress. Friends of pure government, listen ! ! Banks county (your home count V) is now accused of being the territory in which some of the most corrupt and tricky transactions that have become connected ( through publications about Mr. P. F. M, Furr and others, and tho'r transactions which had in them a quantity of guano) with this campaign have been made. Do you wish for your county to ha-e the reputation that a few rich men wilh a small sum of money can carry this county any way they wish it to go. If so, all well and good; but the writer for one is desirous of doing cveiy. tiling within his power to rsmove such a stain Horn fair Banks Counly. It is the writer’s firm and unadulterated opinion that Hon. Howard Ihonip son is Hie man for whom we all should vote on Cth next This opinion ha been arrived at from a purely unprejudiced position, and he who asserts that this opinion was inspire'l|by any other than purely independent democratic actions of myown is far from being cor rtiCt Wlt '* assertions. My honest and truthful reasons for assisting lion. Howard Thompson, are these: I want a better and cleaner government than we have had; And I believe that Mr; F. C. Tate is not as capable of representing us in congress as is the Hon. Howard Thompson. So, Vote for Thompson ! ! ■•lf you are of that true type of American that loves clean government; It will then not take you long to decide that Howard Thompson is the best and i a 'est man tor the people to entrust the affairs of the Ninth Congressional District with. We therefore trust the results of the Primary election of next Monday will show that the Hon. Howard Thompson is the choice of the people of the Nmt- C ‘igrcssien and District o; Georgia. lours faithfully, Wallace L. Harden. LOCAL NEWS AND NOTES GATHERED FROM TOWN AND COUNT*.

M. “Me” Furr, the re puted dea'er in second-hand postof fices, and complimentary concurner of choice grades of guano was in the city Monday. He was looking fat and hearty, and did not seem to be the least bit disturbed over his recent pol itical notoriety. Hi had many appli cations while here for post office ap poiiilments, but said his stock of first class offices was low just at present. He didn’t deal in any old thing, and consequently could r.ot supply all cf his customers. Offices which sold lower than a thousand pound of choice guano he did not keep in stock Mr Furr seems to think that the Eagle has a big opinion of his in fluence.
